Re:TLD typos (Score 1)

I was having a phone conversation with my parish priest a few years ago about updating our parish web site. Another site had some features he felt would be appropriate for ours. He told me the address lets say www.server.com, I entered the url and was greeted with the message: "You must be 18 to enter."
So I asked the priest "Uh should I click through?".
The surprise in his voice was hilarious. "No, no, no! Stop! Get out of there." After some poking around the web we found the site he really wanted me to check out was something like www.server.net .

A couple years ago, I was working in IT, and I had just typed in what I THOUGHT was www.hotfiles.com to go to ZDNet's shareware site to look for something, when our department head (my boss's boss) came over to talk to me.

I turned around to talk to him, not looking at my screen. One of my coworkers came by, saw what was on it, and lunged across my desk to hit ALT-F4 to close it. He had to keep hitting it (as I would find out later) because it kept launching more popups. I had no idea what he was doing since I was still talking with my the department head, and it was only after he left that my coworker told me what had been on my screen...

Apparently, I had typed http://www.hotfile.com/ by mistake. Oops!
